Hello all,
Today I decided to try to look more thoroughly into the Sat system I have mounted on our new to us class a .
It's a wineguard mv3500a. The paperwork I have for the satellite system is not for this type or model.
I'm curious if any of you have this model or similar and could steer me in the right direction.
Can I just plug my home DTV receiver into the coaxial coming from the system? It's not a DVR box, just a standard HD.
Any setup process involved?
I didn't want to just go plug it in and hope it didn't ruin something.
Not even convinced we will use it too often. But I guess those rainy days will call for child entertainment.
Thanks in advance for ANY info.

Not sure why you want to have your DTV connected to your Satelite receiver, maybe I am mis-understanding your question? The satelite receiver will feed the TV. If you want to have both available, then I would expect you need to have a splitter to connect the TV to both the DTV and Satelite receiver. How you get feed to the DTV will depend on the way the coach is wired, but probably have a cable connection on the outside of the coach near the power or water hookups. You may be able to have the DTV between the Sat receiver and the TV, but that won't allow you to use the DTV as the feed is from the satelite.
